I had the privilege of attending the 11th Edition of the Certificate Programme with the Chaffetz Lindsey Scholarship. I found the programme to be well curated, offering a comprehensive overview of international commercial and investment arbitration within a concise five-day period. Every session was highly insightful through interactive discussions and real-world experiences shared by the instructors, all of whom have extensive expertise in the field. The programme was invaluable in enhancing the academic knowledge I gained through my LL.M. studies, providing practical tips and tricks for conducting effective arbitral proceedings. Moreover, it was a wonderful opportunity to connect with renowned professionals, as well as fellow participants from diverse backgrounds, and to learn from each other’s experiences. I strongly encourage students and junior practitioners to grab this opportunity, enriching themselves with knowledge, network and the chance to explore a beautiful city like Rome!
